The WRC is considered to be one of, if not the, premier road cycling sportive in the region. Re-established in 2012 by the then newly formed Ilkley Cycling Club, this sell-out 1000 rider event aims to provide a challenging day out through some of the most spectacular Yorkshire Dales scenery….taking in some of its classic (read toughest) climbs! With three routes to choose from, the event provides for differing levels of ability and experience. It thus attracts a range of participants from whippet-like club riders looking for a gold standard time to those looking for a more leisurely but challenging day out in the saddle. The event is organised and run by club volunteers in conjunction with British Cycling. It raises money for local and national charities and also helps fund Ilkley Cycling Club’s Youth Development Programme, promoting cycling at grass-roots level in the area.
